Abstract:
The data sheets and maps document the swamp sparrow census conducted by Russell Greenberg in Delaware during June 2008. The sheets are preprinted and list observer name, date, time, USGS topo map name, point (e.g. 224), sky code, wind code, temp, followed by a table of data listing bird species (abbreviation), sex (M,F,U), detection (V,C,S), substrate, distance (m), and total. Includes table of vegetation data (within 100m) where observers record percentage of coverage per type of vegetation listed, a diagram for indicating locations of bird observations, and comments about birds and habitat.
